My expectations rose ever so slightly with every minute we were forced to wait in line.

Typically, I’ll never go to a place where I have to wait in line when I can find one where I am swiftly seated.

Despite a wait of perhaps 15 to 20 minutes to get into Eggs & More recently, my mood improved and I was impressed the moment we were seated at the place which proved lovely for brunch.

It was clean with excellent service and the food was fantastic at the family-run affair.

Kevin had an omelette stuffed with ham, bacon and sausage, and covered in real cheddar cheese for $10.95.

My bridezilla buddy, Wayne, opted for his stand-by, manly, bacon and eggs and it was great and good value while his long-suffering sweetheart enjoyed the seafood eggs benny special.

I sampled the steak and eggs ($13.95) which was served with perogies (you can opt for fruit, pancakes or toast if you are so inclined) and was super impressed with the thick slab of 8 oz steak done rare to perfection which was a lot like something cooked up on the barbecue at home.

They have hotcakes, French toast and eggs benny.

Eggs & More boasts ‘big city meal/small town deal,’ and it delivers. Virtually every item is under $10 and the four we sampled were just fine.

Clearly, this spot in a Falconridge strip mall, with its ample parking, is popular for people living in nearby communities.

My neighbourhood was evacuated due to the floods and I was staying with lovely friends at their Saddleridge home, grateful for their hospitality even though their cat, claws and all, attacked my blind-deaf-geriatric dog by soaring across the room and ripping into his flesh.

Whit, the dog, was fine. Luckily, Karen is a nurse who sprung into action, treating his wounds and tending to his hurt feelings.

Eggs & More also does to-go orders for those who have someone sweet and willing to go out and retrieve a meal for breakfast in bed.

Lunch and dinner is also served at the restaurant.

P.S.: Today, June 30, all of the restaurant’s sales are being donated to flood relief. Management are also offering to match dollar for dollar any donation staff would like to make, with either their tips or wages.
